GTOG8TA.com has come out with the first 100% tig welded Aluminum radiator for the G8 market.
These were modeled after the G8 GT model, but we'd like to confirm and test fit in other G8s.

We are looking for a G8 GT and a GXP for testing. We can give an additional discount to members who can install and supply pictures and feedback regarding the installation.

We now have them in stock and they are absolutely beautiful. They look like a $800 radiator, for half the price.

If it's only $400 and you'll give me a discount to do a write up I'm down. I'll take one.
I was going to make my own but that less then what the core I found was.

Besides looking pretty BA, is there any benefit to an aluminum radiator?

I paid more for a stock radiator, and they gave it to me at their cost.

If it will keep up with a stall that's a damn good upgrade for both cooling systems.

Just keeping everyone up to date....

Only snag we've come up with the radiator....the lower rad hose needs to be modified to fit. We are currently working on a solution because our radiator does not have the 90 degree elbow on the bottom.

Can someone please let us know the benefits of this radiator? Weight savings?

Thanks

Just wondering if you have any testing planned for the G8; I seem to remember there was a change between the GTO radiator and the G8 radiator that made it more effective in cooling. If it would be as effective for ours, it would be worth it for sure.

I asked about getting one but they said they already had enough interest in g8 testing? Waiting to see how it went

We have someone doing the initial testing...
We also have a procharged GT that we are testing one on.
Also, waiting on confirmation from a GXP.

Plenty of results will be had hopefully by the end of the month!

any updates on this radiator? I need to locate the biggest and best cooling radiator out for a G8 and I need it fairly quick.

Our tester is planning on taking it to the track this weekend.

Fitment is fine. We're just awaiting physical numbers to prove that this thing means business!

I need the extra cooling capacity mainly. We are building a setup right now for well over a 1000 rwhp. I need to keep cooling in check! Do you guys have a distributor program?

Also building an 1100whp setup with twin turbos and an iron block foundation so more cooling capacity is "a must"

Interested in a vendor program for my shop and one of these for my car.

Will these work with any OTR intake, VR VCM?

Confirmed fit with VCM. I don't see why others won't work as well. The tallness is the same as stock. Just a little thicker.

All Aluminum Cold-Case radiators are 10% this week only!
Plenty of GTOs in stock. More G8s should be ready for shipping by the end of the week!
